Thanksgiving has come and gone way too fast and for me this signals that the year is winding down. It also becomes a time of reflection for me. I look back on the year and begin to set intentions for the year to come. I like to set goals. In the month of December every Monday I am going to talk about all things goals. What are they, why do we set them, how to create good ones. Think of it as a 2016 prep. A way to set yourself up for an incredible year to come!!!

For my leaders are readers recommendation this week I am obsessed with the book “For the Love” by Jen Hatmaker , she is in my head. There were many times I listened to this in the car and laughed out loud. What makes the book incredible is that she speaks openly about all the things you only discuss with your best friend: what happens when you are 40, why yoga pants are a gift from God and how it is totally ok to be a hot mess and not a perfect Pinterest mom.

Her point of view is refreshing and real. You will just feel GOOD after reading this book. Affirmed, understood and most importantly confident that you are not alone and it is all gonna be ok.

It’s a quick read or can be listened to on the car ride home from Thanksgiving. Check it out!
